Well still having the same old problem. The latest thing I have found out is the pressure in the radiator is really high, while watching the temp gauge
, I noticed that at 160 even before the thermostat opens up it is blowing water out the overflow and into the tank, cannot understand where so much pressure is coming from. I put a cap tester on and watched how high it would go and it topped out at 25lbs. But when the temp reached 160 the pressure on the cap was at 20lbs. There is no water in oil and none in exhaust pipes... what else could cause such a pressure increase.... and such an overheating problem... I did call the march company and they said that was not a reverse flow pump, its arranged so the water still flows the right direction as factory.... driving me nuts,, getting to the point of taking it to a mechanic or someone that is a lot smarter than me...
